Question
An experiment is carried out as depicted in Figure 1. Two drugs, staurosporine and camptothecin,
are used to treat normal and cancer cells. Staurosporine is an inhibitor of protein kinases and can
induce apoptosis by an undetermined mechanism. Camptothecin is known to inhibit the DNA
topoisomerase type I.
Discuss and conclude the effects of the drugs on the two different types of cells in this experiment.
